Dear Mr. George,
I am Li Hua, a volunteer of the activity "English Communication to the Mountains". Now,
I'm writing to express my sincere apology to you for not being present at the activity to be held
next Monday.
The reason for my absence is that I suddenly fell ill. My parents sent me to hospital, and I
have to stay there for a week. As for my volunteer work, I have asked my classmate Tom to do it.
Sincerely hoping that you can accept my apologies.
Yours,
LiHua

Possible version 1:
Hearing this, I took the steps two at a time to the cellar. The next second I was in front of the
shelf. I stood on tiptoe and took down the jar carefully. I could hear Dad and Mom laughing
upstairs and Mom’s hands slapping the dough. Wanting to join them, I hurried up the steps, and
my foot caught on the middle one. I put out my hand to steady myself, but I tumbled down. The
jar slipped through my fingers and smashed on the floor. The jam we’d been saving and saving
flew everywhere. Wrong-footed, I burst into tears and heard Dad’s footsteps closer and closer.
“Never mind, boy, accidents happen,” Dad said and wiped my tears. These words seemed to
have magic and gradually I settled down. Through the shirt, I could smell the dust of the train and
the city as well as that of Dad’s. How I wished I hadn’t hurried. “Next time I will be more careful,”
I thought to myself. Having swiftly dealt with the mess, Dad lifted me onto his shoulder and went
back to Mom. “Now out of the kitchen, you two,” Mom said, “I'm going to bake my mama’s sugar
pie, without apple jam!” I followed Dad out and helped him fix that old creaking gate until Ma
called us in for Thanksgiving dinner.
Possible version 2:
Hearing this, I took the steps two at a time to the cellar. “No problem.” I jumped at the
request and rushed downstairs. The jar just stood quietly on the shelf, but it seemed a bit high. I
climbed up the chair nearby and extended my arms as long as possible. When I just grasped the jar,
I lost my balance and fell down. I couldn’t help crying. What made me sad was not the pain but
the jam — now scattered everywhere. There came Dad’s footsteps and Mom’s voice, “Are you
hurt ” I shook my head slightly. She helped me up and asked me to go upstairs. With heavy
footsteps, I moved slowly and tears welled up in my eyes.
“Never mind, boy, accidents happen,” Dad said and wiped my tears. “But I ruined your
homecoming dinner.” Sorrow overwhelmed me and I kept sobbing. “No, my son,” Dad smiled
gently, “My homecoming dinner is not about pies, but about you and Mom.” Hearing this, I
stopped sobbing, “But what can we eat tonight ” “How about an apple pie without apple jam ”
Mom came upstairs and cut in. Dad and I exchanged a glance and nodded. After a while, I found
myself sitting in the chair, but this time, I sat in the middle between Dad and Mom.
(We can go without apple jam. Why not make a pie with apple jam )

(…but this time, I sat with Dad on the left and Mom on the right.)
Possible version 3:
Hearing this, I took the steps two at a time to the cellar. “Yes! Madam.” I saluted, acting as if
I were a solider. I ran downstairs as fast as my legs could carry me. After a while, I jumped
upstairs with the jar in both hands, humming a joyful tune. But after I handed the jar to Mom,
things went crazy. Mom was busy slapping the dough and asked me to pass her the sugar. Instead
of scooping a bowl of it, I held the sack up. Just at that very moment, the sugar sack slipped away
and all the sugar ended up on the mud floor. Realizing I spoiled Dad’s homecoming dinner, I burst
into tears.
“Never mind, boy, accidents happen,” Dad said and wiped my tears. “I meant to help,” I
whimpered, “but... I should have scooped some of it...” Dad squatted down and brushed the hair
out of my eyes. “Next time it will just be fine.” I looked into Dad’s eyes and nodded. Dad lifted
me onto his shoulder and turned to Mom, “Dear, can we make a sugar-free apple pie ” Mom, who
had been watching us lovingly, replied “Of course!” and began to work on it. On that
Thanksgiving evening, beside the wooden table sat three of us, I myself between Mom and Dad.
Though sugar-free, the apple pie tasted sweeter than ever before.

Madison stared through the window and watched a puffy white cloud pass over the woods across from the school. It must be wonderful to be a bird, she thought. Total freedom. No math class to sit in, and her days would be spent on horseback. She thought of her horse, Star.
“Madison. Could you please join us again ” Mrs. Smith said. “I was just asking the class if anyone had any problems with the homework assignment.”
“Well, I didn’t have any problems doing it, but I had problems remembering to put it in my school bag after I did it.” Some giggling spread through the room.
“Madison. I don’t know what I am going to do with you. You’re such a smart girl but you just don’t apply yourself. Class, clear your desks. Our guest is here and welcome Doctor Landon. He is a veterinarian (兽医). He came here today as part of our continued Career Explorations Program.”
Madison tried to focus as Doctor Landon talked about how important grades were and how he struggled with math when he was a kid. Doctor Landon was still talking but she lost track of what he was saying. Then a word caught her attention. Horse. Was he talking about horses
Gradually, Madison knew Doctor Landon had come to her town and house when her horse, Star, needed care. She liked it that he even knew her horse’s name. “So, you just travel around and take care of horses all day long ”
Doctor Landon nodded. “I travel with my truck to take care of horses and ponies across the county. It is a lot of work, but I love it.”
Madison’s mouth fell open. What a life that must be, she thought. At that moment, sitting in class, Madison could see her future and her life suddenly seemed bigger.

The idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children, concluded as a “lying down” lifestyle, recently struck a chord with many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.
Many millennials (千禧一代) and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes (纷争) and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution (内卷),” joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.
“Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis (宣泄) and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”
Interestingly, the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale (士气) far beyond their reach.
“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”
8．What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean
A．Warned. B．Criticized.
C．Touched. D．Amused.
9．What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young
A．Improvements in living conditions.
B．Growing pressure from family and social life.
C．Increasing material possessions from families.
D．Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.
10．What’s the scholar’s attitude toward the “lying down” group
A．Understanding. B．Intolerant.
C．Supportive. D．Unclear.
11．What can be inferred about the young generation from the text
A．They never really drop their responsibilities.
B．They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle.
C．They find their dreams far beyond their reach.
D．They would rather escape than take challenges.
D
Ant Forest, a green initiative (倡议) by the world’s leading payment and lifestyle platform Alipay, received the “U.N. Champions of the Earth” award, the UN’s highest environmental honor. It was given to Ant Forest for motivating half a billion people to adopt an eco-friendly and greener lifestyle, greatly contributing to ecological protection with the help of digital technology.
Alipay achieved this by inspiring its users to do environmentally-friendly things, such as walking, using public transportation, going paperless in the office and more to earn “green energy points”. These points can then be used to water and grow their own virtual young trees. After the virtual young trees have grown up on line, Ant Forest will plant real trees somewhere in China.
The number of Ant Forest users has reached 350 million, reducing 3 million tons of carbon dioxide. “Such programs are quite attractive to me. I feel satisfied to see a real tree planted just by doing some simple things such as riding bicycles and buying tickets online,” said an interviewee.
This initiative (倡议) of Ant Forest is in line with the Chinese government’s strategy of a “Green Economy”. The country is taking aggressive actions in expanding its green coverage. Now, its efforts are paying off, with improved biodiversity and a healthier economic growth. Rare animal species have been spotted and forest parks are now popular attractions of tourism.
The planet is at a critical point which could result in natural disasters. It seems clear that unless governments, businesses and people form a focused team, it’s difficult to stop global warming. Fortunately, Ant Forest shows that it is possible to make joint efforts while relying on digital technology. And more initiatives are using technology to contribute to a sustainable future of the planet.
12．What was Ant Forest given the award for
A．It brings convenience to people’s lives.
B．It is run by the world’s leading payment platform.
C．It technically assists many people to protect ecology.
D．It has made the greatest contribution to global development.
13．What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．How Alipay makes profits.
B．How Ant Forest is carried out.
C．What a low-carbon life is like.
D．Why Alipay takes up the initiative.
14．What can we infer from the text
A．350 million people have planted real trees.
B．Promoting tourism can help save animals.
C．China keeps a balance between economy and ecology.
D．The expansion of green coverage mainly results from Ant Forest.
15．How docs Ant Forest contribute to the sustainable future
A．By criticizing natural disasters.
B．By stopping the global warming.
C．By providing a platform to make joint efforts.
D．By encouraging people to donate money to plant trees.

In our kitchen, there was a wooden table and three chairs — one for Dad, one for Mom, and one for me. In the cellar (地窖), the very last jar of apple jam lay quietly on the shelf, waiting to be turned into an apple pie when Dad came back. Mom sat at one end of the table. I sat in the middle between her and Dad. I tried not to look at Dad’s empty place. Dad had gone to the city to look for work for a long time.
Every night, I lay awake in bed and waited for the train to stop. Waited to hear the creaky (嘎吱作响的) gate Dad’s going to fix when he came home. Waited to hear the sound of his work boots dropping on the step by the kitchen door, and his voice calling, “I’m home!”
Every night, as I lay there, I stared at the window and the curtains Mom made from empty flour sacks (麻布袋).
Every night, Mom came to kiss me good-night — after the train’s gone by. She had been listening, too. “Go to sleep. Your dad will be home soon. Maybe for Thanksgiving.”
Time dragging by, it finally came the day before Thanksgiving. I went to sleep with the sound of train wheels in my head, whispering, “Maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow.”
Early the next morning, the smell of coffee woke me. I ran into the kitchen. There he was! Dad lifted me onto his shoulders and pretended to stagger from my weight. “How’s my boy You’ve gotten so big that I can barely lift you up anymore.”
He put me down, and I stared at the two sacks on the table. One said FLOUR — I knew that word. I tried reading the other: S-U-G-A-R. Dad whistled admiringly and winked at me. Mom and I had been practicing my letters most days. I could see that Mom was pleased with me. “I’m going to bake a pie for your dad’s homecoming dinner. Jimmy, bring me that jar of apple jam from the shelf in the cellar.” Mom smiled at me.
